Subject: Arthur Duckworth VX41828 Private 2/8 Battalion

I would like to add my great uncle to the list of POW Stalag 344.  It was known in the family history that my great uncle landed in Crete and within 10 mins of landing was wounded.  I have a copy of his service records and it states that he was MIA 6/6/41 in Crete, WIA 8/6/41, then became a POW in the Hospital Kalives, Greece on 2/10/41 and POW at Stalag 344 on 15/1/1944.
